    Research Notes:

    Means Martha E 17 1843 AL
    Means Mary M 6/12 (Jan 1860) TX

    * Looks like Martha married two men named Means.
    A.J. Means from Tennessee, b 1838, and Robert S b 1845 in Texas. The children's entries for place of birth for father reflect this distinction. Indication is that perhaps A.J. died, or marriage ended, and she married younger brother. Considering the brothers' birth states, their family came to Texas sometime after 1838 but before 1845.
